Frindle - A Story About an Awesome Kid

When I first starting reading the book "Frindle," I couldn't put it down. Ever since that day in fifth grade, I have been frequently rereading the book, never getting bored of it. I love the book because the author Andrew Clements describes a young boy who is able to change the world. By paying attention to the things that go on around him, the main character is able to develop a new word and, before long, people all over the world are using the word.

In his book, Andrew Clements shows that kids can make a difference. Jack is just in fifth grade, but he didn't think he was too young to cause changes all over the world. Because of his confidence and support from his friends and parents, Jack showed that he could be an awesome kid.

Something else I really like about the story is how it ends with Mrs. Granger. I don't remember if I was surprised or not the first time I read the book, but I do know that I enjoy the end a lot. Of course, I can't tell you what happens. You'll have to read it!
